GRAVE STONE RECORDS 

From the ancient Cemeteries in the town of 

Claremont, New Hampshire. 

With historical and biographical notes.

INTRODUCTION. 



An increasing interest in famil\ history and yenealugv has caused numerous 
inquiries concerning early families of Claremont. 

In many instances no replies can be made for lack of evidence that the 
parties were buried here. No town records of death exist prior to 1846. Many 
of the stones have already become so weather beaten that it is with difticultv 
they are transcribed, and a few years will entirely obliterate them. 

Believing that a printed record of these will be of service to posterity as 
well as of value to the historian and genealogist, a transcript has been made of 
all the stones in the West Claremont churchyard, the village burying ground, 
the Jarvis yard, and all prior to 1S46 in the Catholic cemetery. The town 
records gi\'e dates of deaths of all interments here since that year. 

The usual couplets and verses upon the old stones have not been copied 
unless they in some way give facts worth recording. In other words the record 
is a plain statement of facts with such notes as it has seemed proj^er to add for 
reference or information. 

To this transcript it is not proposed to add any extended notes. In some 
instances, however, items are introduced regarding the native place, and service 
as soldiers or public officials. Whenever the maiden name of a wife or widow 
is known, but does not appear on the stone, it is inserted in parentheses. 

The usual abbreviations will be used, omitting inmost instances the words 
"died," and "aged." 

The names are arranged alphabetically for easy reference.

THE OLD BURYING GROUND. CLAREMONT 

MLLAGE. 

The first mention of this yard occurs in (lie town rccurcls as follows : 
"August 27, 1 79J. Voted to give off the school lot two acres of land lor a 
Ikirying yard near the meeting house. 

"Voted — to acce]it a highway from .\tkins i'.ridge (now called the iipin r

the Burying yard near the meeting house. 

"March ij, 1S04. Voted — That a hearse and harness be pidcured foi' the

much to do with his not having attained more imjiortant positions, as he

The two boys were standing in an open doorw.iy during a hard thunder 
shower. Directly over their heads hung an old musket. This is supposed 
to have attracted the lightning. A numher of other people were in the 
room at the time, and all were stunned. The lightning played curious 
pranks with the furniture ; a single long sliver was taken by it out of a 
hard wood table, doing it no other damage. The house where this occurred 
stood in what was called "I'unkshire," near the old (Irannis homestead, in

MORTUARY STATISTICS. 

No records of deaths were kept in town, except l)y families, prior to 1S46. 
The compiler has, therefore, arranged by years the deaths as receded. by the 
inscriptions. While it is certain that these do not icnliidc all the deaths of 
each year, it in some measure shows the death rate. P'rom 1846 to date a 
careful record has l)een kept, the credit for it Ijcing due Mr. Alfred Hurrill, for 
manv years se.\ton of the town, and its continuance by^liis son, Mr. Cicorge 11. 
liurrill, his successor as se.xton.

Tin' ~va\'s of Death arc soof/i///i;' ami serciit\ 
Ami all the -vords of JJeath arc if rave and sweet . 
From camp and church, the jires/de and the street, 
.She l)eek()i/s forth — and strife and si>n<^' have hcoi. 

A summer night descending cool and green, 
And dark on daytime's dnst and stress and heat, 
7 he 'cavs of PeatJi arc soothing a//d serene. 
. \nd all the zcords of Death are grave and s-.ceet. 

() glad and sorrow fnl, with trin/nphant mien 

. \nd radiant faces look npon and greet 

This last of all your lovers, and to n/eet 

Her kiss, the Comforter s, your spirit lean. . . . 

The ways of Death are soothing and serene.
